Who was studied 98,805 European ancestry cases, 948,186 European ancestry controls, 14,588 cases, 117,082 controls; replicated in 34,835 European ancestry cases, 492,149 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.047 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.059); p = 1 × 10−14.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.2 — between genes, 17.3 kb from LINC02295.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Hypothyroidism. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Hypothyroidism. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Hypothyroidism. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2008260
What is rs2008260?
rs2008260 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02295 gene. Published research associates it with hypothyroidism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2008260 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Hypothyroidism. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2008260 mean I will get this?
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
Where does the information about rs2008260 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41238958. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
